So, as I gently pointed out in the post below, we are now in escrow. Our awesome Realtor suggested we do our home inspection while we were still awaiting approval from the bank, just in case we were to find something that would be a major deal-breaker, we'd at least know sooner rather than be tied up in a dud house for what would possibly be more months. So we scheduled it for Tuesday, July 24, and it went really well! The inspector said we found ourselves a fantastic opportunity. Sure there are little things here and there (garbage disposal's broken, a door needs replacing, some wires need to be capped off), but there was nothing major to worry about. AND we were particularly stoked to hear that the roof was in great shape. Whew! That was the one thing we were concerned about.
We were totally not expecting to get word the next morning that we had bank approval and were starting escrow! A lot of happy dancing ensued around these parts. Escrow's been chugging right along, and we're now on day 20, so, anytime now, really, we're ready! We can't wait to get in there and start ripping the place apart. :-)
My parents have started their search now for a smaller place closer to us. There's a really nice community about 10 minutes (or 15 if my dad's driving - ha!) away that they really like, so hopefully they can find something there soon.
